I really liked all of Group 6's essay ideas. The David Sedaris book that they decided to read sounded hilarious, but it sounded as if they managed to get a lot of good ideas from the text. I really liked Owen's idea of talking about finding truth in memoirs. I thought he brought up a lot of good points about how people would think that memoirs would be a perfect place to find the truth of someone's life because they wrote it, but in fact, they twist and alter the truth sometimes to get the desired effect.
I can't remember whose idea this was, or maybe it was everyone, but the quote about David being the brother he's always been after his sister telling him a story that she didn't want repeated was a good quote, and I like how different people and theses managed to incorporate that quote into their papers to further their argument. It shows the versatility of the book, and the abilities of the people writing the papers =) Good job guys!
